BTW. I just viewed the segment of vid. where you asked if anyone else wanted to lead and I ran off and left you guys. I wasn't that fast. I just took off before ya'll were ready to follow. The run back after we turned around. Only took :20 more than my 5 min. lead run.

Thanks I am almost wishing that I would have had to hold my line. because I think the bike would have handled it if I hadn't upset the susp. too much, but I felt I had run in too hard and was still hard on the front brakes.
So when I saw that I had an out I took it.

That ditch was about a foot and a half deep. I did too.

Gotta go now they are running me out of here. I'll try to get some more up in a day or so.

! So what happened.. bumps? Target fixation? Seemed like you could have made the turn no prob but nice save!

YEA I feel I was still well within the bikes abilities, just alittle beyond mine. i stayed hard (for me) on the brakes way to deep into the turn then got nervous about leaning more with the suspension upset.Yes I also became target fixated on the ground right in front of me when I saw that I had the extra room (the other lane) I took that option. and decided to go completely across since I didn't like the prospect of possible oncoming traffic. That's why I need to do a track day or 2. I have been considering doing the upcoming msrh day .

Here's the best of 10 videos I got out of the weekend...we are traveling down Limecreek on Sunday Morning. In front is Princess and Scorpio.

Hey, what about me I was in front of you for a bit until I pulled off to check out the lake. BTW you were making me look bad running up on me in the turns. But then I saw that Scorpio and Princess were holding us both up.
And have you noticed when the gauges are shaded. You can see your reflection in the plastic covering the gauges. Cool Try to turn the camera around and point it at you sometimes. It makes for pretty cool video. I've done it on my cruiser. The bicycle seat post mount works excellent on handlebars.
